Congrats!! The more time that passes, the easier it gets. A looonnnngggg time ago, I was a chain smoker and had to use the nicotine patches to get past the irritability and urge to smoke. After a few months of not smoking, I never even thought about it . . . except when I was around others who smoked. To this day I find myself sniffing in "second hand" smoke and it brings up urges to smoke, although it was detestable when, in the early stages, I would light one up. Try not to hang out with people who smoke . . . it's too tempting.
